As sort of a half-baked feature request, perhaps there could be a 
keyboard command to cycle selection of frames on the current selected 
page....

Potential example: Ctrl-Tab selects the "next" frame, cycling through 
the frames on a page, then back to the first frame. Shift-Ctrl-Tab 
selects the "previous" frame in a similar manner.
